This should be a great showdown between two teams that know each other really
well! I'm expecting stellar rush defense on both sides, but I believe that
BYU has better depth at linebacker and the defensive line. I am worried as most
BYU fans are about the pass coverage, but I feel confident in Sorensen and Bills
to help out with the deep routes. Chuckie is an excellent athlete and it will be
interesting to see how he responds this year after a couple years of being
chased around like a chicken with its head cut off and some hard hits that
discourage him from running the ball too much. I'm hoping that they will
put the pressure on early and take advantage of a seasoned offensive lineman in
Kyle Whimpey. Go Cougars!

This game is no where near as important as next weeks game against Boise. That
said, after the tight losses to the y the past two years the Aggies need to
remind the cougars what is like to come to Cache Valley.

The y
might slow down Chuckie's running, but unlike the y's QB Keeton knows
how to pass the ball. USU by 14+

I don't like Utah teams beating up on each other.

Playing, and
beating, out of state teams, make better national exposure, and recruiting.

I expect a defensive battle and a low scoring game. Turnovers will likely
decide the winner. I am a fan of good defense so this should be another great
game in the series. For BYU a lot will depend on continued improvement in the
passing game and on the health of Jamaal Williams. They will also have to
contain Chuckie. Van Noy and Fua need to come up big (and they usually do).

Utah state will win byu because the mighty Utes won byu and won utah state also
so utah state will win byu. The utes are the best team in the nation and will
win the rosebowl.

I think BYU will play better than expected. I see the game close. I just
don't know if BYU can score in the red zone or make the big plays. I
wouldn't be surprised for them run up a ton of go fast plays and amass a
lot of yards. But what kind of yards? Scoring yards? Big play yards? I say they
make the yards in between both sides of the 20 and fizzle inside their own
territory and their opponents (USU).

it's o.k. tinplater, Mildred is a troll. Very very few cougarfans believe
the world is out to get us. Looking forward to a great game on Friday. Go
Cougs!

In other words Mildred, if USU wins it is because the refs gave it to us?
Brilliant! BYU fans have a reputation of blaming losses on the refs and you
uphold the tradition with admirable brevity.
